This track delves into the emotional struggle of feeling inferior in a relationship. The singer feels overshadowed by their partner's brilliance and struggles to keep up, leading to self-doubt and exhaustion. The reference to painting their broken heart chrome is a metaphor for hiding their pain and putting on a brave face so as not to burden their partner. Despite these feelings of inadequacy, there's still a strong desire to shine alongside them, indicating deep affection despite the hardship. This song beautifully encapsulates the complex dynamics that can exist within relationships when one person feels less than the other.
The Shining
Lyrics
I've been hiding
You've been shining
Like diamonds blinding
You've been proving
You're super-human
I'm still moon-shooting
The way that you glow
Everybody knows
You've got a heart of gold
And mine is always broken
So I'll just paint it chrome
Yeah, I'll just paint it chrome
So you're not alone
I've been trying
Too hard
Climbing to get where you are
Wearing me out, comparing myself
Drowning in doubt, while you're up in the stars
Staring me down, but you're so down to Mars
The way that you glow
Everybody knows, yeah
You've got a heart of gold
And mine is always broken
So I'll just paint it chrome
Yeah, I'll just paint it chrome
So you're not alone
I just wanna shine with you, baby
I just wanna shine with you, baby
